SANTANU CHAUDHURI vs SUBIR GHOSH

The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition filed by landlord Santanu Chaudhuri against tenant Subir Ghosh for failing to vacate premises as ordered. The Court held that since Ghosh did not file the required affidavit or undertaking, he could not be held in contempt for disobeying the order. The Court emphasized that contempt could only arise if the tenant had induced the Court to extend the time based on false representations, which was not established in this case. Consequently, the contempt petition was dismissed.
